From Clinker to Low-Carbon Cement: Financing Decarbonization through Article 6 Cooperation

From Clinker to Low-Carbon Cement: Financing Decarbonization through Article 6 Cooperation

This webinar showcases the findings of the SPAR6C study on cement sector decarbonization, with its authors, invited experts, and industry representatives presenting key insights on technologies, investment needs, and enabling policies. Speakers and panelists discuss options such as supplementary cementitious materials, low-clinker alternatives like Limestone Calcined Clay Cement (LC3), alternative fuels, and carbon capture solutions. The dialogue highlights how Article 6 cooperation can serve as a financing pathway for these technologies, creating opportunities for the sector to align with both national climate goals and evolving international market requirements. As the third webinar in the series, this session aims to equip stakeholders with the knowledge and tools needed to engage in Article 6 cooperation, with a particular focus on carbon credit generation, financing models, and enabling policies for the cement sector. By strengthening technical readiness and building confidence among industry and government actors, the webinar will support Pakistan’s transition toward low-carbon growth and its active participation in global carbon markets.
